Additional Details

Henry Clay cruises to an easy victory. Polk tries to catch up on "this old infernal stubborn mule" Andrew Jackson, prodded with a sharp stick by Martin Van Buren. The sitting president Tyler pulls up the rear, complaining "we shall be distanced and I'll have to go to Texas." None traced in OCLC, Reilly, or at auction.
